Athletic vs Real Madrid, December 4
Athletic are in 4th place and have been successful in the Europa League. The Basques haven’t lost at home since August and will try to take advantage of the absence of several key Real players.
Madrid are second and 1 point behind Barcelona, but they have played one game less. In the league, the Meringues won 3 matches in a row with a 9-0 aggregate score, and Jude Bellingham scored in each game. However, the match against Liverpool showed that without some of their leaders, Real look vulnerable when facing a top level team. Can Athletic break their streak of 5 consecutive home defeats to Real in La Liga?
Odds: W1 - 3.44, X - 3.75, W2 - 2.184
Arsenal vs Manchester United, December 4
Bukayo Saka, who scored 5 goals and made 10 assists, has been the Gunners’ most efficient attacking player. Nevertheless, Arsenal have only had their best run since September after Martin Ødegaard returned from injury. Arteta's boys have won their last 3 matches in all competitions with a 13-3 aggregate score and still hope to fight for the EPL title.
Ruben Amorim gained 4 points in the matches against underdogs: Ipswich (1-1) and Everton (4-0). Can the new 3-4-2-1 formation break a streak of 3 consecutive defeats to Arsenal? The task looks difficult due to the absence of several center-backs. Yoro, Lindelöf and Evans are injured, while Martínez is disqualified.
Odds: W1 - 1.489, X - 4.79, W2 - 6.88
Tottenham vs Chelsea, December 8
The Spurs have got 3 wins in their last 8 games in all competitions, including 2 victories over Man City. But fans have already got used to the fact that Tottenham play better against top teams than against underdogs this season. Chelsea are gaining momentum, and the chemistry between Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson can scare any opponent. The Blues are determined to get back to the Champions League and beat Tottenham in the 5th out of the last 6 away matches. The absence of the injured Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario increases the chances of the Chelsea strong offense. All the same, let's not forget that Tottenham are the most scoring team in the EPL so far.
Odds: W1 - 2.639, X - 4.175, W2 - 2.455
Napoli vs Lazio, December 8
Thanks to the victories over Roma (1-0) and Torino (1-0), the Neapolitans have kept their lead in the Serie A. Napoli could have scored more in both games, and it proves that Antonio Conte's team is improving in offense. But the 55-year-old coach can use the proven counter-attacking tactics against Lazio, who are the best Serie A team in terms of xG. Last week, the Biancocelesti failed to beat Ludogorets (0:0), and then lost to Parma (1-3), breaking their 5 match winning streak in the league. This week isn’t going to be easier for the coach Marco Baroni because on December 5, Lazio will also face Napoli in a Coppa Italia match.
Odds: W1 - 1.978, X - 3.645, W2 - 4.245
